Xportsnews, captured from online community<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">A Chinese influencer has found herself at the center of online backlash after appearing to impersonate BLACKPINK\u2019s Ros\u00e9 at an official pop-up event, reigniting debate over blurred boundaries between fandom, promotion and celebrity identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">According to Malaysian entertainment outlet Hype, a Chinese influencer known as Daisy was invited earlier this month to the closing event of Ros\u00e9\u2019s pop-up store in Qingdao, China. The event focused on selling official merchandise and offered themed photo zones tied to the BLACKPINK member.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The controversy began when the event host reportedly introduced Daisy in a way that made her appear to be the main figure of the event, rather than Ros\u00e9 herself. Fans on site and online quickly voiced discomfort, saying the spotlight had shifted away from the artist the pop-up was meant to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Videos and photos circulating on social media showed Daisy posing for photos with fans, signing Ros\u00e9\u2019s official merchandise and wearing outfits closely resembling Ros\u00e9\u2019s signature looks. The scenes fueled criticism, with some fans saying that casual observers could easily mistake her for the singer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Some fans commented that the situation was misleading and disrespectful to both Ros\u00e9 and her fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">As the backlash grew, Daisy addressed the controversy directly through her personal social media. She said she felt an explanation was necessary after seeing the reaction. \u201cI attended the event at the invitation of the shopping mall, and everything was carried out according to plans discussed in advance with the organizers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">She added that her actions were intended solely to promote Ros\u00e9 and the pop-up store. \u201cI did not receive any financial compensation, and my intention was never to impersonate or replace Ros\u00e9,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Daisy also acknowledged fans\u2019 concerns, saying she understood that Ros\u00e9 and her fans should remain at the center of such events. \u201cIf any part of my participation appeared inappropriate, I reflect on that sincerely and will act more cautiously in the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">This article from Xportsnews is adapted by a generative AI system and edited by The Korea Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Chinese influencer who imitates BLACKPINK\u2019s Ros\u00e9 draws attention.
